LYRICS:
Well, it's me
In case you were wondering
Same old mess as I have always been
I've been fighting
Regrets and memories
Time has not healed me like I thought it would
And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passing out and finally getting rest
The slowing down just reminds me of why I started in the first place
The numbing just fueled me for the running away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing
I've been working
What I mean by working
Been trying to find myself
Who I am
I'm still fighting regrets and memories
Time don't give up on me
Like I fear it will
And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passing out and finally getting rest The slowing down just reminds me of why I started in the first place The numbing just fueled me for the running away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing
And I don't know which ones are worse
The nightmares or the hangovers
The sleepless nights or the passing out and finally getting rest
The slowing down just reminds me
of why I started in the first place
The numbing just fueled me for the running away from the pain
And I'm closer to the messed up than the sober thing
Well, it's me
In case you were wondering
Same old mess as I have always been

My brother died two years ago. He fought with alcohol his entire life. He drank too much, went to sleep, and didn't wake up. He was only in his 50's. I've been on a Cody Jinks freight train for several years now. The music, the words, the songs he sings fit my musical taste to a T. But this song stopped the world from turning. I can hear my brother telling this exact same story. I miss you Mark. Bawling my eyes out right now. I'm so sorry for what you went through. I miss you.
You're not alone friend. I lost my 41 year old brother 6 month's ago to the exact same thing.
God speed...
Sending you blessings and love, I'm so sorry you lost your brother 🫂 I'm now 5 months and 7 days sober and i felt every word of this song 💔 I'm praying you heal and God bless your brother 🙏 I bet he fought this awful addiction so so much. Hugs 💜
So sorry to hear .May God be with You .
Ur one hellava brother...
Nick, sorry for your loss brother. I am 55 and lost my brother to CF at 22 and fast forward 3 baby girls and finally a baby boy. Had grandbabies and all that then at 19 yrs old 3/20/14 my boy was murdered. Its a struggle and it sucks, keep faith brother. That will keep you going. If that makes any sense. Our day will come to see our loved ones. Can't wait. This world is so messed up. God Bless You and you're family Nick.
By the grace of God, I celebrate 9 years clean from heroin I love this song can really relate to it
GOD BLESS!! Lost my best friend and others to that evil.
❤ May God keep, bless and strengthen and guide you. I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength ❤. Phil 4:13
God bless.... stay strong
That’s an amazing accomplishment. Glad you was able to over come it!!
Congratulations💪
This song means so much to me. I’ve been sober 9 years and it’s a constant fight. Only those who have battled will know the impact of this song.❤
Both yes and no. Sober can be from anything could be drinking, drugs, cutting yourself. I feel this song on two of these
Perhaps…as a father of an addict this song crushes me…my pain is incredible!
You are so right
Ct³
Congratulations. Very proud of you!
The "CHANGE THE GAME" album drops March 22, 2024. Presave/Preorder here: ffm.to/changethegame. Thanks for listening!
Sometimes it's like you've seen me at different times of my life and written what I could never say!
Much respect!

🔥😍🔥😍🔥
*I absolutely LOVE this song Cody!*
*Amazing!*
This song literally saved my life tonight… thank you Cody
I pray that Jesus will touch you. 🙏🏽
Same, A stranger I met a couple of weeks ago shared this song with me at a time when I really needed to hear it.
Glad you're still here some one needs you we can only keep it is to give it away my sponsor taught me that he's passed on now but with 32 yrs sober let Us Love You till you are able to Love You i listen good because You Matter!!!
🦋🇺🇸✨✨🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻✨🦋
There will never be a chemical solution to a spiritual problem 🙏
Amen
Facts
Amen.
Live with chronic pain everyday for 20 yrs and then we can chat...
yeah ok
ABSOLUTELY amazing love this and Cody jinks for saving my life from a 1 year meth addiction 4 years sober thanks buddy...🙏🏻
52 yrs old and drink beers everyday …. Smoke as well … I’m so sorry to hear about the loss in these posts 😔 It’s disheartening. To you whom are sober you should be proud of yourself ❤
That’s a great song. My son is 51 and just about 6 months sober. Keep sober and live longer.
🦋🇺🇸🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻🕊️🙏🏻
Was sober for 4 years and slid back in hard during Covid. Currently on day 6 of my second and hopefully last attempt at sobriety. Insomnia and anxiety are a motherfucker this go around. No shit just when I was thinking about caving I got the notification this song was released, listened, got in my feelings and went and got a coffee instead of a beer. Thanks Cody!
You got this man. One day at a time just one day at a time. I’ll be praying for you my brother. 🙏🤟👍🏻💯
I don’t fight alcohol, but I do fight pain pills. And yes, an anxiety is a motherfucker. We just have to do it one day at a time.
Prayers up for you man. I don’t have advice, just prayers
Fight like a mother fucker! You got this brother. There's a reason to quit.
How you holding up brother.
Holy hell this is a song that leaves you at a loss for words. My God this is one of the best songs by Jinks yet 💯💯💯
Completely agree!
Yesssssss!
This dudes songs are unbelievably relatable on a whole other level. I just heard this song for the first time today, im at a loss for words.. you are a badass..
Dear Cody 🍀❤️ so good. ❤ thank you. “Sleepless nights or the passing out finally getting rest” , I know it too well. ❤️.
Cant live without cody’s music 🥺♥️
Outstanding man. 6 months sober. This song hits me in the heart! Closer to the messed up than the sober thing… God Bless and keep you!
Keep it up Man! March will be 2 years
Keep going brother! You can do it. Philippians 4:16. I'm not a big godly person, but love that verse.
Coming up on 3 years. Proud of you guys. No matter how far we get in life without a drink, it always only takes just 1.. Yall keep it up.
Almost 10 years, it keeps getting better! God bless 🙏💙
4years, gets Great.
6 years sober now, but this song reminds me of all those years I spent in a living Hell
Thank you Cody for all your songs that touch my heart, love you man ❤❤❤❤
Damn. I felt that. I was a social drinker most of my life. Diagnosed with end stage liver disease in ‘04.
Decided to quit altogether 13 years ago; 2 years before my liver transplant in November 2012.
I have friends that are recovering alcoholics. Some are doing great. Others, not so much and are struggling.
To those that are struggling:
Whatever you do, DON’T GIVE UP. KEEP FIGHTING. 🙏🙏🙏
Sober almost 18 years & I’m still messed up, I wonder if it ever goes away, love the song
Amen Shine the light on a dark day
Come to JESUS All whom suffer and Cody Jinks for the courage of music to carry on
You saved my life Cody. Praise God for you. Thank you sir. You saved my life
Cody Jinks this song is powerful to say the least. You sir just summed up my alcoholism word for word. When you drink to shut up the demons of anxiety and your past, it’s really freaking hard to ever stop.
I feel you Cody. But, I can tell you this since I got sober in 2004 my life has been way better than I could have dreamed. Of course, I had no choice. The state was kind enough to deliver me to a treatment program that changed my life. One day at a time, brother. You are a child of God and deserving of all the benefits and blessings.
🦋🇺🇸🕊️✨🕊️✨👍🙏🏻
I just celebrated 2 years clean on the 18th
🦋🇺🇸🕊️👍😊Congratulations 🍾
Crazy cuz i know most his songs word for word. Ive heard this one tons of times. I was drinking for about 6 mounths strait again. Finally was able to put it bck down. Thw words just spoke to me and i actually heard it today. Well i understood it today. Giving up is easy. Lets not do that.
I just hit 4 years of being sober nov 21, ive rebuilt my life, after loosing everything i had including my children and my wife, ive battled my way to happiness through pain and misery. So im here to say that if i can make it anyone else can.
Good job man! Hopefully you can get some of those things you lost back now 🤞
Losing. Not loosing.
This one is such a tear jerker. Wish my husband would win the fight against alcoholism 😢. Seeing him struggle for so many years.
This song is deeper to me than sobriety. My wife passed away almost 7 months ago. Never drank a lot but I battle the same things. Love Cody and hits home as usual. Drank more since she is gone than ever. Maybe I can lay it down one day if I can find myself and purpose again. Spent most of my life with her and I do what I have too but not sure if it's the right thing to do sometimes. Prayers needed and praying for all those that are sober that you continue to stay that way and find joy in life.
God can help you!! All you have to do is believe in Him! Ask for His help! God will be there for you!❤
🦋🇺🇸🕊️✨🕊️✨🙏🏻So sorry for your loss
Thank you so much for this wonderful song!! I’ve been sober since Aug2007. I spent twelve years trying to cope with something horrible that happened to my best friend and I wasn’t there to stop his murder. The only way I felt I could cope was to dive deep into the pills and the bottle. After overdosing three times and flatlining twice I had finally hit rock bottom. I knew right there in rehab that if I didn’t change I would eventually take my life. I can tell you this Mr Jinks, the nightmares were the worst for me. Jesus saved me from myself….. Thank you for this song
Trying ❤️🔥🙏 Gotta Rise Up and fight and give it to God 💪🙏 Realest words brother! Our next generations to come deserve it and the way I have lived has never been me.. I was lost but now I'm found... Love the song! Absolutely beautiful ❤️🔥
Cody has the best way with words, he is the only songwriter/singer that actually hits home, my soul listens to him. Another outstanding song that will probably help people.
437 days sober - WE DO RECOVER!
🦋🇺🇸🕊️✨🙏🏻Congratulations 🎊
I struggle to put into words. Playing policeman for 25 plus years, I dealt with addiction every day. Family's torn apart, misguided love, trust lost, lies, manipulation, it all, all the same time I was battling it. I turned to the bottle to help cope with my own demons. Thank you, Cody, for your music and your truth.
Right there with ya brother!
30 years here! Should have thrown that piece of tin down years before! God bless!!!
4 years sober! But a lifetime ahead of me! Day by day is all it takes
🦋🇺🇸🕊️✨🙏🏻Amen
Beautiful song Cody.
You can do this!!
One day at a time.
Keep fighting the demons.
I love this so much. Getting sober (in terms of alcohol or drugs) is not an issue for me. But the song still hits home:
I've been workin'
What I mean by workin'
Been tryin' to find myself
And who I am
I'm still fightin'
Regrets and memories
Time don't give up on me
Like I fear it will
I think we are all struggling in our own way - to find ourselves. This resonated so much with me. I'm not getting any younger, and still struggling. Cody - thank you.
I get it...passing out finally gettn rest 💯❣️🙏
Thanks, hope you never stop ❤!
Cody...
Like so many of us. Is looking for that one thing, that will fill that hole, that creeps into our Spirit, when we're a little weak, hurt, afraid and more. My Native friends say there's only one solution. The Creator that made us and runs the stars, the World and the Universe. And until we find It. We're all just one drink away from burning it all down...again.
God Speed Cody!
❤ love this , stay strong ❤
No matter what this man sings he always knocks it out of the park for me don't need to go into details but it hits close Cody jinks deserves more recognition I have some of his albums love them all thanks for keeping it real Cody keep ur awesome music coming
Cody Jinks songs have been playing my life , on all aspects. That os why he is my favorite and always will be. Waiting on the next chapters..
At 66 finally a song that speaks to me. Thank you Cody.
I swear this song was written about me. Most can relate but until you walked in the shoes of this lyrics you have no clue.
Over 1,000 days of living life one day at a time. Your music has helped me a lot through my journey. Thank you!
Goddamn this one hits close to me now. Twice sober for over a year and slippin again. Cody Jinks you just keep crankin em out brother.
Be strong brother, one day at a time.
You can do this man, I promise. Stay strong
Took me years to manage 6 months, don't ever give up. You got this! 🙏💙
I've been sober 3x, once after 12 yrs sober 😕
But 4 years now and Living better than ever.
I recently slipped after close to a year.
I’m sober then I’m not. My past haunts me day by day. I can’t let it go
Yes you can. Gotta be strong. Been sober since 2013 quit cold turkey. Won’t lie been times I wanna fly but I know it’s the best just staying sober.
Don’t give up! Hang in there! I’m 6 mos clean & it’d be a lie if I said it was easy, it’s a day at a time for the rest of your life, but it does get easier & will change your life for the better brother!
First song I ever heard from you was Hippies and Cowboys and it resonated with me. Fast forward to when I met one of the greatest loves of my life and the first song she ever shared with me was No Words. That song has been one of the few songs in my life that meant the world to me. Unfortunately, after three years, our relationship ended. About a month after that happened, I heard Sober Thing. That song is honestly my song. I appreciate your songs and the emotions behind them more than I imagine you ever intended. Thank you for what your talent brings to to life for us and I will see you from my single seat when you come to Boise on March 9th. Keep doing what you do and singing about the real things! A four hour drive to hear you sing Sober Thing and No Words (hopefully) is well worth it. We hear you!!!
Hitting awfully close 2Home with this 🎶One , Cody
Nice song
from a weary Night Owl 🦉🌙

🦋🇺🇸✨🕊️✨🕊️Congratulations 🎉
Song hits home been ten years clean and I always love hearing songs like this so thank you jinks
Never ending struggles. Its about putting ourselves arounsd the right people. But its alot easier said than done
Such a beautiful and meaningful song
Absolutely, Nice 👍
I'm very proud of you Sir! Maybe one day I can say the same! I'm not as brave as you!
Same here, damn makes me want to give up my Miller lite, but... Can't waste this 12 pack lol.
This is a very beautiful song and it speaks volumes! I want all of you out there struggling to know, the ones that know you the best and loves you more than life itself. Hang on stay strong prayers are with you guys and you Toby Don. Don't give up on me now babe you are an incredible man and my son❤
Thank you for your music, your song I’m not the devil helped me get sober, 3 years this march and your music now again is an amazing aid. Again thank you
I legit picked up a few brews on my way home from work this morning. I sat down in my chair and popped the top off the first. I took that first long draw, then laid it down. I went to CZcams to see if any of my favorite artists had released anything. This was the first recommendation on the page. Now, I can't pick the can back up. So deep. So relatable. To say I've been struggling would be more than an understatement. For anyone else here in the comments for the same reason, you're not alone. We're not alone. Keep your head up my friends, and thank GOD for Cody Jinks!
Hang in there friend ❤ God knows Bro 😊
That's God. He gives us a moment of clarity. He gives us a pause, a breath. Keep trying. You can do it. There's millions of us just waiting to help
This song hits me really hard. I struggled in & out of sobriety for the better part of 21yrs. I destroyed relationships one after the other & finally found myself in a coma for 12days. Not to mention getting jumped, stabbed, guns held to my face etc. Only by the grace of God I’m finally 5.5yrs into my recovery. I remember not being able to sleep through the night covered sweat wishing praying I could just feel better. God Bless & Godspeed to any of you out there struggling. You can do it I promise I’m living proof of it. Thank for this beautiful song brother. 🙏 🤲 ❤ 🎵
The slowing down is why I started then and again in the first and this place
Very powerful song cody!!! Keep em coming... this song hit me right in the heart. I started drinking a year and a half ago and I been sober for 3 weeks now and yes the cravings are there but I'm fighting the temptation... this song calmed me down and made me realize what I'm fighting for... good song ill be listening to it for awhile!
"It's not a war on drugs, it's a war on personal Freedom." Bill Hicks
Dang Cody! You nailed this song, the sound, the lyrics, the emotion!! Well written man, thanks for sharing with us!
Been sober since August. Lost everything I had once again. Except this time it was my wife and kids too. Trying to prove ill stay this way and convince myself I will and everyone else is tough. Rather do the sober thing and have my family back than wake up with the hangovers. This song says every word I feel. Thanks for letting me feel like I'm not alone in this.
Cody this song is me. Almost a year sober. If I knew the fight I was in for regarding my emotional sobriety and the pain of my past, I never would have joined AA. Trying to find myself at 46. Its painful but I will get there!
Please do. I pray you find the strength you need. A dear friend who turned 46 last Sept committed suicide in Nov. His life of regrets, tragic, divorce , drama heartache, alcoholic temptations ect. I can just hear him say....hello it's me incase you were wondering. 😢😢😢
Love all your music your great
21 years for me with a couple reminders. Love this song❤
Love you Cody ❤
No words...❤❤❤
My prayers are steadfast for you and all like us... Please remember ... Recognize the fall for that is all it was or will ever be , the quicker you get up is easier on you and those around you will see also so het up with me MOW I'm tired of numbness so mow I'm working rhrough the pain . You got this cause God's got you😊
Gorgeous song! ❤ Sober seems to be more popular or public and I’m glad…my husband and I have 18 months. I sure missed the cold beers last summer, but it’s been worth it! ❤
I bought Athletic brewing six packs (0.2% near beer) twice last summer and it's quite good but overall I discovered that I don't really want or like beer anymore. It's a great feeling.
You nailed it. We've been there. Only love to you and everyone who hears this song & knows what you're singing about. ❤
The sound of a guy who sung a song in church
And I knew he was from God and has a message.
What a song that tells the cold hard truth .what a song
I'm very far away now from the messed up and solidly in the sober thing. 14 years on December 16, 2023.
Congrats 👍🏽
Same Here Brother 12/25/09
GOD Bless you Cody Jinks, this song makes me put aside all my grievances and realize what's important❣️🙏🕊️
WOW!THAT TOUCHES HOME !Couldn't think of a better person to sing it ..Beautiful Job Cody ❤❤❤
Thanks ❤❤, Hope you never stop?
Wow!!! This song hits hard. Thank you again Cody Jinks you nailed it again.
9 1/2 years sober and love this song. Man you nailed this one! Thank you for the music that comes from the heart 🎵💙😉
I wish and pray each day God helps me thru my life I’m living
Keep being a inspiration to someone who is in a struggle
I've got over 2 years...this song is about after you get sober and the things you drank/used over are still there...
19 years sober…this song takes me back…it also makes me so grateful for the life I chose to turn around to a positive energy and surrounded myself with loving people…priceless…
One year on the sober thing as of this month. This song is amazing, and hits home.
Just woke up to this living this song God answering those questions when we just listen thank you sir
You just keep getting better and better 🥰
I like messes, and so does God. That 's His speciality. And I love your voice and the shining truth of your words in your songs. Very proud of you Cody, it takes guts to look inside of ourselves and face our demons. Alot of guts, and time and patience. Take it one day at a time, sometimes one minute at a time, if you have to. Just walk away, say a quick prayer and regroup. Its easier said than done. God is walking with you, always know that. He will meet us more than half the way, if will allow Him in. And remember, sobriety is not an overnight thing. You didnt become an alcoholic &/ or addict over-night, and we dont get well over-night. Its a process. Our brains and emotions take time to heal. Be patient with yourself. And remember this: How do you eat an Elephant-?? One bite at a time-baby steps. And quit beating the hell out of yourself. Yesterday's a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, and today's all the cash you got-so spend it wisely-cause you might get hit by a truck tonite-😏😁 There ought to be a song about that. Love you, hang in there, and may God always be with you, my friend-🎯💯👍
Wow you could right a song gust in your reply very beautiful.
BEEN THERE Y'ALL.13 YEARS SOBER.TOOK ME 40 YEARS TO GET THESE YEARS SOBER.GREAT TUNE BY THE WAY.ITS A STRUGGLE BUT Y'ALL CAN DO IT
Man, I’ve been with my dad the last 6 months and we’ve become best friends. Never felt more better with this man, he used to drink soooooooo much. 40 years of marriage with my mom. Mistakes, 11 kids, him not coming home nights because of duis. My mom with 3 kids his best friend cheating on him. (My “dad” yes I was convinced by my mom going out on my “Father” that raised me. Despite the drinking and him in and out of his forgetting and everything he has inside, I know he has memories, past trauma. This is his perspective of if all, inside of a family with addiction. Thank you, Thank you 🙏🏼 needed this one. ❣️
Also, I love my mom to. They’re better. Both are. All good. 🙏🏼🤙🏻
My gawd!!!! Incredible!!!!!
This song...my ❤ . I love you DSR
Met a newcomer tonight. 9 days in. Reminded me of when I began my journey march 6th 2013. We spent some time with him. Stay strong. That messed up will soon be in the rearview.
Damn... another 🔥🔥🔥 song! Thank you for sharing your passion and talents with the world! I can't wait to see you in concert again!
Almost two years sober. This song is so much. Bittersweet. 💔
Bruh we have to wait till march😭
Fighting addictions from past , losing my only child a of 17, watching the man I loved destroying himself from drinking from losing his only Son, going through divorce and wondering I'm back in the same Ole messes I'm always in. Got this hit HARD.
Heartfelt. Decades of torture brought on by myself. Your music has helped me realize things beyond my control and confront past nightmares. Slowing down and hearing your messages are life saving. Thank you.
Great song Cody Jinks😊
This song is awesome man ❤ I have 5 years and 8 months clean from the needle and the bottle
This song is perfection!
Unos anhelan ser leyendas, mas hay quienes nacen siéndolo.
Cody Jinks is an Angel
This song really reminds me of my dad on his 1 year anniversary being sober😢
